"Halfway through Gauthier–Lang’s performance, the roof of the Skyspace opened up, almost as if he’d summoned it. Accompanied by a rush of cool air and natural light, the mechanical drone of the movement was a surprisingly musical pairing with the improvisation"
"The air was thick with heat and music when Montreal saxophonist Thomas Gauthier-Lang burst into his set at MASS MoCA’s Skyspace with a furious flurry of notes. The room was flooded with muted red light and a storm of sound."
A couple of years ago, I met a wonderful musician/artist by the name of Justin Karas. As a self taught harpist, he was in the middle of working on his first album when he asked me to be part of his project and when I got to listen to what he was creating - I was in awe. His music felt like a tender warm hug, something everyone should get to feel.

‘In Waiting’ mixes ambient long-tail piano chords with alto sax drifting over the top. The song features tape noise from outside as a warming hiss and a meditative hue hold over the listener with intent. Max LL says forest recordings are used throughout the album and most songs have field recordings at their base.
In Night Of the Kings (...) surrounded by a sea of green, this brutalist concrete compound seems dislocated from the world, in a different time and space – a sense reinforced by Olivier Alary’s eerie soundtrack of screeching, plaintive violin and sax notes, backed by distant jungle noises.
